Python, pip, Android SDK, Android Studio, Appium

For this project to work we need to install several things in our system. Here we will provide links to a youtube series by channel Cope Automation (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJW4QKphRxa1M_q_S2ygyng) that I followed when I first started playing with this idea. In case some steps need to be modified, I will point it out.

1. Install Python, pip and PyCharm -> If you already have them skip this step. NOTE: If you are more confortable using other IDEs like Eclipse just skip the installation of PyCharm and install PyDev in Eclipse

2. Install Android SDK, Android Studio and set up Android emulator features -> It is important that after this step you have the following paths added to environment variable PATH: C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platforms C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\npm C:\Users\ingov\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator

3. Clone this project to a folder

4. Open a command prompt, go to the folder where this project was cloned, execute:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

All the Python modules and libraries needed for this project will have been installed. Now your environment is ready.
